The closure may comprise a screen 8 supported by radial fins 9 in the pourer body, thereby serving to moderate the flow of a liquid contained in the bottle when poured out, and a lip 11 on the pourer body which prevents drips. A further embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), the band (26) is provided with a circumferential weakened breakage line and a tab (28) for gripping and pulling one end of the weakened portion to break the seal. Another embodiment, Fig. 6 (not shown), provides the band (26<SP>1</SP>) of the cap (21<SP>1</SP>) with external teeth engaging inside the terminal annular portion (20<SP>1</SP>).

Title: Device for comparing the intensities of two beams of radiation
IPC: G01J3/42
Filed: 1955-11-07
Abstract: 805,559. Photo-electric and thermo-electric spectrometers. PERKIN-ELMER CORPORATION. Nov. 7, 1955 [Nov. 12, 1954], No. 31704/55. Class 40 (3). In a device for comparing the intensities of two beams of radiation the beams are chopped so as to cause them to pass alternately along a single path to a radiation responsive receiver and are chopped again before reaching the receiver, the chopping frequencies being in the ratio n to n + 1 where n is different from 1. The device may be applied to a double-beam spectrometer including means for producing a signal proportional to the intensity difference between the beams and this signal may be applied to a servomotor so as to position an attenuator in the path of one beam and thus reduce the signal to zero. As shown, radiation beams RB and SB from a source S pass through a test and a standard material in chambers 14, 21 to the entrance slit 19 of a spectrometer and a chopper 20 is rotated at a frequency nf so that the two beams pass through the slit 19 alternately. After passing through the slit 19, the radiation is reflected at 23, dispersed by prism 24 and reflected back by mirror 25 so as to pass to a mirror 26 which deflects the radiation on to orthogonal mirrors 27, 28 between which is a second chopper 39 rotating at a frequency (n+1)#. The chopped radiation is dispersed again by prism 24 before passing to the exit slit 30 of the spectrometer and thence to a receiver 32, e.g. thermo-couple or photoelectric cell, which produces a voltage having an alternating component of frequency f. This voltage is amplified and fed together with a control voltage of frequency f to a phasesensitive full-wave rectifier 34, the output of which contains a D.C. component proportional to the intensity difference between the beams RB and SB. The amplified output of the rectifier is applied to a servomotor 36 which moves an optical wedge into the path of beam RB to reduce the output to zero, this movement of the wedge being recorded by a device 38 as a measure of the intensity difference between the two beams. Specifications 682,149 and 732,719 are referred to.

Abstract: 196,955. Lancaster, P. N. Dec. 1, 1921. Piles; piles, driving and withdrawing.-In apparatus for withdrawing the preparatory piles or tubes used in the construction of concrete piles, springs are introduced into the withdrawal rope system so that intermittent downward pressure may be applied to the tube by means of a hammer or weight to tamp the concrete. In the arrangement shown, two loose collars 21, 22, sliding on the tube 18 are pressed apart by strong springs 23, and the withdrawal ropes 13 are secured to the lower collar 21. The tube is driven by the hammer 15, concrete is introduced therein, and the tube slightly withdrawn by means of the ropes 13, the upper collar 22 bearing against a fixed collar 25 on the tube, so that the springs 23 are compressed. The hammer 15 is dropped repeatedly on to the driving cap 20, forcing the tube downward to tamp the concrete, while a constant withdrawal tension is maintained on the ropes 13, so that the tube is gradually withdrawn. The Provisional Specification states that both upward and downward pressure may be applied to the pile by ropes, in which case the springs are dispensed with.
